Dionte Christmas continues to make an impression at Summer League.  And before you accuse me of just being a guy that falls in love with summer players, just know that I’m  not alone. “A lot of  overseas teams contacting me and throwing out some crazy numbers,” Christmas said after yesterday’s game.   “They’re making it [...]

Last night, the Milwaukee Bucks were designated the “road” team in their matchup against the Celtics.  That was very appropriate, considering the crowd was decidedly pro-Boston. And the “home” crowd was in for a bit of a treat.  The few hundred people who showed up to see the a bunch of guys in C’s gear [...]

The NBA Summer League’s official You Tube account caught-up with Doc Rivers in Vegas today. Doc was asked what he thinks it will be like coaching against Austin, how he prepares on game days and what he’d be doing if he wasn’t an NBA coach:   [...]

We all get a little bit of the Summer Fever around this time of year.  We fall in love with players who never make it.  We fantasize about genius GM’s finding no-name diamonds in the rough that will make an impact for a winning team.  Hell, I did three separate pieces on Dionte Christmas in [...]

E’Twaun Moore played perhaps his best game of both summer leagues against the Bulls.  Moore dropped 25 points on 10-19 shooting, burying several jumpers with confidence while sprinkling in some nice drives to the basket.  He still has work to do as a PG, as evidenced by his difficulty of simply making a post-entry pass [...]

The Celtics began their Las Vegas summer league play with a throttling over the Atlanta Hawks. Fab Melo opened some eyes and dropped some jaws with some inspiring play while Jared Sullinger once again played very well. Check out compilations of both Melo and Sullinger as well as a loud dunk from JaJuan Johnson. Fab [...]

Today the Celtics will begin their second week of summer league play in Las Vegas.  They had a solid 4-1 record in Orlando and earlier we posted some GreenLights from the first couple of games.  Here are some left over clips from the remaining three games, mostly highlighting JaJuan Johnson’s best game vs Detroit as [...]

Summer league part one is over for the Celtics, and the story of this game is Dionte Christmas. He dominated the first half of this game as the Celtics built a huge lead… waxing the Orlando Magic by 21.  Christmas, who will not be playing for the Celtics in Las Vegas, wowed us with an [...]

This is only summer league This is only summer league This is only summer league I’m trying to remind myself of something that I know all too well.  This is only summer league, and every summer league has a “breakout” player that never makes it in the league.  But I can’t help but enjoy what [...]

Final score (85-77) and three-game winning streak aside, Celtics fans have reason continue to be encouraged by the performances this week at the Orlando Summer League. Jared Sullinger continues to show signs of being NBA-ready… this time by scoring 16 points on 7-12 shooting while also grabbing 8 rebounds and blocking 2 shots.  It wasn’t [...]
